Chapter 1155 Master Kongqing is Missing

Jiang Jiyun was so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back, as if her body had been hollowed out, and she was extremely weak.

When she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in her temporary residence in Jinling.

"The patriarch has woken up!" Qin Zhi, who was guarding nearby, was overjoyed and excitedly shouted towards the door.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wenming strode in, carrying a porcelain bowl filled with food.

As he ate, he said, "Xiaoyun, you're finally awake! You slept for quite a while, a full two days."

However, Jiang Jiyun was already dizzy from hunger and had no time to pay attention to what her uncle was saying.

Her once lifeless eyes now gleamed, staring intently at the bowl in Jiang Wenming's hand, as greedy as a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.

Just then, Jiang Jiyuan also walked in carrying a bowl of warm lean meat porridge.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my younger sister trembling as she stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to grab something.

So he quickly went forward to help his sister up, helped her sit up, and fed her porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Jiang Jiyun eagerly opened her mouth wide and ate the porridge in the spoon, but one spoonful after another was not enough to satisfy her.

She grabbed Jiang Jiyuan's hand holding the bowl and leaned in to wolf down the porridge, not even bothering to chew.

In the blink of an eye, the entire bowl of porridge was gone.

Standing to the side, Xiao Wei couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Luckily, Senior Brother Nan Huan chopped the meat into small pieces, otherwise I was really afraid you would choke."

Jiang Jiyun patted her chest, still shaken, and said, "Oh my God! I'm so lucky to be alive. If I had come any later, I probably would have starved to death here. No, I need to eat something more. I'm not full yet!"

Nan brought over a bowl of porridge, placed it on the table, and said with pride and anticipation, "I even cooked extra, it's definitely enough for you! Only someone like you who knows how to appreciate good food can truly appreciate the deliciousness of my porridge!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun, who was about to reach for the bowl, froze, looking up in astonishment.

Her gaze was fixed on the bowl of porridge, her voice trembling slightly: "Uh... um... could there be something strange added to this porridge again?"

Nan was startled by her reaction, but quickly recovered and waved her hand to explain, "How could that be? Don't worry, I didn't mess around. I just added some meat, cracked in a few eggs, and garnished it with some green leafy vegetables and chopped green onions!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the ingredients in the bowl, indicating that Jiang Jiyun should inspect them.

Jiang Jiyun, half believing and half doubting, brought his head closer to the basin and carefully observed it. He found that, just as Nan Huan had said, there was nothing particularly unusual about it.

So she felt a little relieved and took the bowl of hot porridge from Nan Huan's hands.

This time, Jiang Jiyun changed her previous habit of wolfing down her food and instead slowed down, savoring the food in front of her in small bites.

Chew each bite slowly, savoring the soft, sticky rice and the unique texture of the various ingredients mixed together.

Gradually, her tense expression relaxed, replaced by a feeling of happiness: "Mmm...it's so delicious! It has the savory aroma of meat, the refreshing taste of vegetables, and the tender and delicate texture of eggs. It's a perfect combination! Not only does it taste amazing, but it's also very nutritious! Senior Brother Nan Huan really has a talent for cooking!"

Seeing Jiang Jiyun enjoying his meal so much and being praised, Nan's smile grew brighter and brighter.

He glanced sideways at Xiao Wei and the others sitting not far away, a contemptuous smile on his face.

Dissatisfied, she complained to Jiang Ji, "Look at these guys, they're all so picky eaters, they can't even get used to my egg, meat, and vegetable porridge! Humph, Xiaoyun has better taste, they're just a bunch of ungrateful wild boars, they can't stand fine food!"

With a smile on his lips, Jiang Jiyun finished the last mouthful of porridge with satisfaction, then pushed the empty bowl aside.

Then, she looked curiously at Jiang Wenxun: "Uncle Xun, where did the Taoist priest go? His tastes are quite similar to mine. He'll definitely like this vegetable porridge!"

Jiang Wenxun frowned and replied with some concern, "The Taoist priest said he wanted to look for a Taoist temple nearby, but he hasn't come back since he left."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but feel suspicious. She turned to look at Jiang Wenming beside her, and then shifted her gaze back to her brother.

Seeing that they all nodded, he said anxiously, "The Taoist priest isn't the kind of person who doesn't know his place. If he really planned to leave, he would definitely have told us in advance. Brother, did you say something might have happened to the Taoist priest?"

Jiang Jiyuan silently tidied up the dishes his sister had used and told her, "We were worried about the same thing. That's why Zhang An and the others went out to look for the Taoist priest early this morning."

At this moment, as if suddenly remembering something, Jiang Jiyun jumped out of bed, quickly and neatly put on her shoes, and then ran out as if on fire.

Not long after, Jiang Jiyun walked back to his room looking relaxed, clearly having just gone out to take care of personal matters.

As soon as she entered, she spotted Chen Meng and Zhang An, who were about to sit down for lunch, but both of them looked unusually serious.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Jiyun's heart jumped into his throat. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother Zhang An, have you found the Taoist priest?"

Chen Meng told everyone everything they had learned: "After some investigation along the way, we found out that there are several Taoist temples in Jinling City, but only two are close to where we are staying. In addition, someone saw Master Kongqing enter Chaotian Temple."

Hearing him say that, everyone felt relieved to have found the person.

Jiang Jiyun couldn't wait to ask, "Judging from your pale faces, does that mean the abbot isn't in that Taoist temple?"

Seeing this, Zhang An nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "That's right! I went in and asked the people inside. According to them, the Taoist priest only wandered around the temple for a short while before leaving."

Jiang Wenming frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled look, "Is it possible to go to other places?"

Zhang An shook his head helplessly and replied, "We asked passersby and another Taoist temple along the way, but they all said they didn't see the Taoist priest. Not only that, even the people in that Taoist temple said that no one from out of town had come to stay there in the past few days."
